Leasing Consultant - Olympus Auburn Lakes

The Skills That Drive This Role

Leasing is a conversion game. At Olympus Auburn Lakes in Spring, TX, the Leasing Consultant position puts two skill sets front and center: sales and service. Not one or the other. You're closing new leases while simultaneously keeping current residents happy enough to renew. Traffic-to-lease ratios matter here. So does your ability to read a prospect, match them to the right unit, and move paperwork efficiently. If you've spent time in hospitality, retail, or restaurants, you already know how to hold a room and recover from a tough interaction. That experience translates directly.

The base pay runs $18 to $20 per hour, and on top of that, the role carries monthly leasing commissions and renewal bonuses. In a well-run lease-up or stabilized community, those bonuses can meaningfully change your monthly take-home. Your renewal performance is just as financially relevant as your new leases.

What You're Actually Doing Day to Day

You're the first face most prospects see. That means greeting walk-ins, fielding calls and online leads, touring units, explaining floor plan differences, and asking for the commitment. Once a prospect says yes, you're handling the lease paperwork, coordinating move-in keys, and entering data into the resident database accurately. Administrative precision matters here because errors at the lease stage create downstream problems for the entire team.

Beyond leasing, you're helping plan and run resident events, visiting local businesses and locators to drive traffic back to the property, and responding to resident concerns with the kind of follow-through that supports renewals. Weekend availability is required, and some after-hours commitment for resident functions comes with the territory. That's the honest reality of a leasing role.

• Minimum 1 year of apartment leasing experience, or comparable customer-facing sales background in hospitality, retail, or restaurants
• Full-time schedule: Monday through Friday, rotating hours within 9 AM to 6 PM window
• Saturday and Sunday availability required
• Monthly after-hours availability for resident events

What Makes This Specific Opportunity Worth Considering

Olympus Property has earned the National Apartment Association's Top Employer recognition three consecutive years: 2023, 2024, and 2025. That's not a one-time survey result. Sustained recognition at that level usually reflects something real about how the company operates internally, how teams are supported, and how management treats site staff. For a Leasing Consultant early in a property management career, company culture affects how quickly you develop. Being surrounded by a team that shares leads, covers for each other, and actually collaborates makes you better at the job faster.

Strong candidates here aren't just energetic closers. They're people who genuinely track their own numbers, follow up consistently, and take resident retention as seriously as new traffic. The consultants who grow into leasing managers or assistant managers at companies like Olympus are the ones who treat every renewal as a sale and every resident interaction as a data point worth noting.
